Over a hundred supporters gathered in the Players’ Lounge for the event as the players received their official squad numbers for the forthcoming campaign.

The evening also offered the new signings of Lee Hodson, Jason Banton and Ben Reeves to meet supporters at the first official Club event. The players were split across the tables to ensure all fans could quiz their favourites as they shared a bite to eat.

BBC 3 Counties Radio presenter Luke Ashmead was the host for the evening and took the opportunity to quiz a handful of the players as they were handed their shirt from Karl Robinson and Gary Waddock.

Some of the players, namely Izale McLeod, demonstrated quick feet to avoid facing questions on the microphone.

Following the shirt presentation, fans were giving the chance to pose their questions to boss Robinson, Waddock and skipper Dean Lewington.

The questions ranged from whether there is the possibility of playing two strikers up front – to which Robinson responded with a resounding ‘no’ – while one young fan asked whether the players have enough hunger to succeed. Again, Robinson gave a passionate response, informing supporters that every player will always give 100 per cent.

Dean Lewington said he believes the defence have enough strength in depth across the board with the addition of Lee Hodson as well as Jon Otsemobor and the skipper himself able to cover at centre-back.
